The Howard County Chamber Small Business Roundtable: Reputation Management in the Age of Social Media
|
For those operating a business, obtaining new clients and retaining existing ones are paramount to success and profitability. Businesses, large and small have traditionally spent countless hours and dollars on branding, websites, and online strategies. In today's rapidly changing business environment, social media is quickly garnering as much, if not more attention than logo and PMS colors.
